International business leaders gather in Doha to reinforce trade ties
As many as 400 international business professionals and diplomatic representatives will gather in Doha Thursday (October 22) for a major networking event highlighting resilience and economic confidence across Qatar’s commercial sector.
The upcoming edition of the biannual ‘Back 2 Business’ event will take place at the Pullman Hotel Doha West Bay, coinciding with Qatar Sustainability Week, according to Italian Chamber of Commerce in Qatar president Palma Libotte.
Organised by the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Qatar, in collaboration with the American, German and French Chambers of Commerce, the Dutch Business Council, the German Business Council, LIFE and EO, the event reflects the strength of international cooperation and the shared commitment to supporting business growth in Qatar, Libotte said.
Libotte emphasised the role of long-term community relationships in supporting regional business growth.
"Back 2 Business stands strong because the community behind it stands strong. For 19 years, we have brought people together twice a year, building relationships that go beyond a single evening.
"The response to this edition shows how much our business community values the opportunity to reconnect, exchange ideas and support one another. Nearly 400 participants coming together is a strong statement of confidence in Doha and in the power of international collaboration,” Libotte stated.
The event will feature open networking alongside a dedicated executive speed networking session designed to connect senior decision-makers and identify cross-industry synergies.
Diplomatic representatives expected to attend include the EU ambassador to Qatar alongside the ambassadors of Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands.
Libotte added: "The strong response to the event demonstrates that, despite regional and global challenges, Doha’s international business community remains engaged, connected and determined to move forward. Face-to-face networking continues to play a vital role in building trust, exchanging ideas and creating opportunities across industries and borders.”
